TY Retreat

Yesterday all the TY's went on our retreat to Maynooth collage. We took the bus at about half nine and arrived and settled at about 10. A man called Conor asked us all to but all the chairs in a circle so everyone could see eachother and him and the other 2 woman could introduce themselves to everyone. We started of by celebrating leap frog day by jumping into the air which i thought was very weird... but then we played this game that tested our strength and willingness to hold on. Orla,Amie,Sophie and I went in the middle. Our job was to pull people away from the people they were linked to. It was sooo hard! I was really tired by the end of the game but we went straight into a new game were Linda 'one of the leaders' would call out a number and we would have get into group with the number that called out. After break we started talking about different topics. The one we had was what if your partner cheated on you went he went on holidays, would you want him to tell you and if the situation was turned would you tell him/her. One of the questions said which have it worse men or woman and for the rest of the retreat we all just debated that question. It was actually really interesting what people had to say and amazing what peoples opinions were, I never our year could get so deep haha. It was overall great day and i really enjoyed it!
